Lee Junseo (Son) – The Kind Hell

* Lee Junseo (Son) – The Kind Hell (1)

The village existed in the deepest part of the mountain’s heart.

Especially deep, even within this mountain-filled country.

Passing through roads where ordinary people couldn’t even enter, they were first greeted by iron bars and guard posts.

“Stop! Stop! Stop!”

A woman in military uniform came out from the guard post and blocked the line of vehicles. Even though it was a sleek, darkly tanned luxury car, they didn’t bat an eye and knocked on the window, ordering them to open it. The large man driving the vehicle slowly came out and faced them, but no one flinched. Even with a gun pointed at him, the man took out something like an employee ID from his pocket and showed it to the female soldiers indifferently.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Bokryong Union vehicle…”

“Huh? Bokryong?”

“Isn’t that where they were dispatched for Doryeon-nim’s (young master’s) matter?”

“Yes. Today, I have a report to give to Manim (Madam) and the eldest brother regarding that matter, so I gathered the kids.”

“Is Doryeon-nim (young master) doing well?”

“He’s healthy. I’ve brought good news, so I want to go in quickly.”

“We’re just doing our job, so we can’t help it. How many people in total?”

“Thirty people, including our Agassi (Miss). Today is Agassi’s (Miss’s) ‘that day’, so she’s in a foul mood. Could we just pass through?”

“No can do.”

“We got an earful last time when a kid climbed over the iron bars and came in.”

“Then I guess we have no choice.”

After the man driving the vehicle spoke with the female soldiers, he tapped on the vehicle, and slowly the men and Munyoung came out. As mentioned earlier, Munyoung had an unpleasant expression, but she didn’t cause any trouble and stood in a line in front of the vehicle with everyone else. It seemed like most of the members were annoyed by doing this every time they came in, but the female soldiers were serious.

“ID cards.”

“Here ya go.”

The men handed over their ID cards hanging around their necks to the female soldier in turn, and she checked them. Age, birth year, name, affiliation, and a photo. She especially checked the photo and face several times, which took quite a while, but there were no major problems, and the verification was coming to an end without any issues.

The people who finished the check went back into the vehicle. One or two people disappeared, and the last ones left were Munyoung, who was wearing a suit, and a man who seemed to be his subordinate. Originally, Munyoung would have been checked first or last, but today he was awkwardly second to last, drawing strange glances.

“Looks like her period is heavy? Doing Doryeon-nim’s (young master’s) bodyguard work in the middle of that, how admirable.”

“If you think so, I hope you’ll finish quickly. I want to go home and lie down leisurely.”

“Hehe, but, who’s the man next to you?”

“He’s a newbie who came in recently. It’s his first time getting his ID checked, so I put him next to me.”

“Hoo.”

The female soldier who was checking the ID cards returned Munyoung’s and glared at the man. She ordered him to take off his sunglasses and slowly stared at the man’s face and ID card. The issued date was recent, and the photo looked like it was taken recently, completely resembling him.

“I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere.”

“That can’t be. He only recently learned about the village.”

“His voice is young. Is he a trustworthy subordinate? Or a lover? Considering his age.”

“A lover, don’t joke around like that. Even though he looks like this, he has achievements, so I brought him here. He succeeded in getting permission from my father, so he was able to come here. I hope you’ll trust him.”

“If you got permission from that person, there’s nothing I can say.”

After tapping the young man’s shoulder twice, the female soldier smiled slightly, saying, 「I hope you have a good encounter here」. However, regardless of her smile, the woman’s heart was not at ease. She felt like she had seen him somewhere, so she wanted to pry into that part, but she didn’t have a good enough reason, so she decided to let it go.

“Check complete! Open the gate!”

The female soldiers immediately returned the ID cards and went back to their original positions. Inside the departing vehicle, someone muttered, 「He’s definitely not a proper soldier」, and another mountain road appeared. It seemed like it had taken a considerable amount of time to get here, as the men’s tired voices burst out in the vehicle again.

“Hah~!”

“I’m alive~!”

Amidst such commotion, the people in the last vehicle let out a sigh of relief. The large man driving the car also took the strength out of his shoulders, unbefitting his size, expressing with his whole body that his heart was pounding.

“Do you think they noticed just now?”

“No, it seems they didn’t notice.”

“They had a hunch, but it was hard to find fault.”

“I was a little nervous at the end.”

“Since they’re from the village, they probably had a feeling that Doryeon-nim (young master) was involved, but his face is physically different. No matter what, they couldn’t have noticed at first glance. The ID card isn’t fake either, we brought the one our newbie uses, so there are no loopholes.”

“We’ve already been checked three times on the way up here.”

“The full-fledged ID check is the first one there, but if we weren’t caught there, there won’t be any problems with the rest. After parking the vehicle in the parking lot, we’ll each scatter, so take that opportunity to look around the village.”

“Then I’ll take this off?”

“Yes.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Huuhah~!”

Inside the vehicle full of Munyoung and the men, the newbie gangster from earlier, still wearing a suit, grabbed his face. It was as if he was tearing off his own skin, but no one was surprised and just blankly watched the scene. The things that fell off, ttuduk ttuduk, were the face he had been wearing until just now, and Munyoung, who was watching it from the seat next to him, had a strangely satisfied expression.

“What? What are you looking at?”

After the fake face and wig fell off, Junseo’s face naturally popped out. After tearing off the gum-like residue that remained on his original face with an unpleasant expression, he glared at the gazes focused on him.

“You really have good manual dexterity.”

“Should I say it’s unexpected…”

“It’s like a movie-like infiltration, imda.”

“I was wondering how to get Doryeon-nim (young master) into the village, but I didn’t think we’d get in this easily…”

“I said I was in the art department. If you know how to make plaster statues, you can do this much. I heard that you can’t make a living with just sculpting, so if you’re not going to make figures in the future, it’s not bad to learn special makeup.”

“Did you want to get a job doing that in the future?”

“That’s one thing, but it’s also good to enjoy it as a hobby. In the first place, there aren’t many places that teach this kind of thing at university, and it was mostly self-taught. There are a lot of channels that teach you weird things on Y○Tube these days. When I was in high school, I thought about going to an academy that specializes in teaching this kind of thing after getting into university, but when I looked it up, they were all concentrated in Seoul… and the art departments were even merging… Thanks to that, I almost gave up… Oh, was it that unexpected?”

“Can I be honest?”

“Go ahead.”

“I thought Doryeon-nim’s (young master’s) brain was attached to his dick.”

“Hahahahat, this bastard is asking to die.”

But Junseo couldn’t deny those words. After discovering his father’s USB, he hadn’t had a chance to show off his skills until now, and his days had been filled with nothing but sex. On top of that, he wasn’t properly attending university, and he even entered a demonic route to be faithful to his desires, so even he thought he looked pathetic.

“It’s a waste to use it once and throw it away.”

“If I had learned it seriously, I could have made something better, but let’s just say this is good enough for today. Thanks to this, I was able to get into the village without causing any trouble.”

Junseo lowered the window and looked outside. Since they had come this far, no one stopped him from lowering the window. The cool and clean mountain air came in through his lungs, and his stuffy mood was somewhat relieved.

“Is this the village site… It’s a really strange place…”

Inside the iron bars, there were barracks and container buildings lined up as if the military was stationed there, and there was even a parade ground. Munyoung said, 「Doryeon-nim (young master), they’re not the kind of decent guys you’re thinking of」, so he didn’t delve into it deeply. It was clear that they existed to protect this mountain where the village was located, and after passing through such a grim place and going further into the mountain, a tunnel appeared.

After passing through it and coming back outside, a large building came into Junseo’s eyes. It was like advertising that this was the end of the road, a genuine castle that you would only see in a Korean traditional village or a historical drama. It was so well-maintained even from afar that he naturally gasped, wondering if the monarchy still existed in this country.

“Is this it?”

“Yes, this is the final destination.”

“What is it, is the historical revision genre still popular these days? What the fuck is this? Passing through the tunnel, I feel like I’ve stepped into the wrong era, let alone the road.”

“I thought so too at first.”

The village stretched out around the huge building.

The magnificent traditional Korean house where Junseo’s grandmother and the villagers had gathered last time was located on the outskirts.

Really, a completely different world unfolded.
